The breakfast of fruit and sweet buns, or cake was a nice treat on vacation and the food options by the chef were fun to try

Quaint small inn on a hill with excellent views But best to have a car to access beaches, restaurants and stores

Parking is limited

Nice older property. Great view, can walk down to the beach with just a short dicey stretch on the main road. Steep walk back for those that are not as mobile

Breakfast is only from 8:30 to 9:30am. We would have loved if it could be extended from 8 to 10am in order to better match guest needs (in our case, we had to leave early and therefore had to rush for breakfast in order to match our timing).

Nice room, big bed, everything is very clean, nice pool and outdoor spaces with a nice ocean view.

The bed was very hard, and the bedding was subpar: mismatched, worn and poorly fitted. The only seating in the room was a metal outdoor cafe table and one chair.

The property very quiet, and while not unobstructed, the ocean view was nice. The pool deck was very pretty, and the staff was very responsive to a few minor problems we had.

We could not take advantage of the breakfasts as we were out early every morning. We did ask the owner if anything could be provided as a take out, she agreed and said some sweet buns and fruit would be dropped off in our room. This would have been perfect but it didn't happen on any of our three mornings. Shame. Also, we had our room "taken" by another guest so had to have their room. Not sure if it was bigger or smaller but I think the view would have been slightly better for the sunrise - but we were out that early it didn't really matter. Parking was also very tight, first come first served, we always got a spot but only just. Seems there are maybe too many rooms for the available parking, or we were just there when it was really busy.

great location, up a hill, away from the road then noise and others!

Needs a little touch up here and there but then it will be more expensive

At first it seemed rather run down. But I stayed 2 days and really liked the vibe here. The shower was hot, the bed was comfortable, the view quite stunning, and bonus whale watching possible. Shared kitchen space and BBQ poolside very handy. Adequate breakfast included. Lots of small touches other fancier hotels don’t think to offer: lots of hooks to hang beach gear and towels, outdoor shower to wash sand off, functioning AC, screened windows, fruit at breakfast. Walk to beach was just fine.

The breakfast was problematic as the man doing it evidently wanted to charge money for extra food. The room could have been cleaned better, in fact one day it wasn't cleaned at all.

It was a quiet location on the outskirts of town and 15 minutes from the beach. It was excellent value with a good sized room, a verandah and a communal pool. There were hammocks in a small courtyard at well. The staff were friendly and helpful.

You do need a vehicle or Uber as we did.

Facilities pool etc all good.

The owners dog was free to roam many mornings….urinating and defecating all over the pool deck/relaxing areas. The sheets didn’t quite fit our bed so they would come off several times in the night. The bed in our suite was very comfortable in the one room and very uncomfortable in the other). Don’t rent the junior suite. It is not worth the money and all beds are supremely uncomfortable.

The cleaning staff did a good job. The pool was nice (not heated). The location is decent if you have a car.

Small room, if a little more was spent on the room finishing and furnishings it would have been better.

Nice view, quiet location

The way sound from other rooms carried to our room.

The sea views from our room and the pool deck.

Very sympatic Hotel as well the owners. We did not have that much time to stay, but still enjoyed the pool area and our nice small balcony with a nice view to the sea. The room was just the right size, supper clean and comfortable. We got some breakfast to take out since our check out was at 6 am. Can only recomend the MariaMar Suites.

Shared patio was a little awkward but it looks like i just landed that room, most had their own patios. no hand soap, not a big deal but make sure you bring that with you, and bring a travel bidet since you cant flush tp. Hot water also runs out fast if you max out the pressure so us least water pressure you can for longer hot water.

Pretty property with great attention to the plants! Bogenenvelia rooftops were impressive! Staff was very attentive to our room refreshment. On site chef friendly with reasonable priced breakfast extras. Great view for whale watching and just in general. Comfy bed - could have used a thin topper as i could feel the coils but i am too sensitive lol. Great proximity to both beach and getting to town. Away from the main hotel strip which is a bonus for me. Beach at bottom of hill is awesome.

It’s all pretty good. Maybe a lot of stairs for my older friends, but that’s of course just due to location.

Location, smooth check in. Excellent location to stay and far away from the resort craziness on the beach

We have a big truck and parking was problematic. However they did figure out how to accommodate us. Wi-fi and tv a bit of a problem, we were there for only one night. They did offer us another room. There is an outdoor kitchen, not a true restaurant. Knowing ahead of time to stop for supplies would be great to know.

Really cute! Amazing views. Owners and staff we’re great!! We will stay here again knowing what we know now!

The room was small and could use updating

Nice view good value

Rooms could have benefitted from a little refreshed paint (minor issue). Guests should be aware that the hotel is at the top of a pretty tall hill, so not a walkable neighborhood. You can walk down to the beach and beachside restaurants and then take a very inexpensive Uber back.

The views of the sea were gorgeous from our room's patio. There was a large deck around the pool where we met other travelers, including some that actually live there in the winter in their junior suites. There was an outdoor kitchen area that the long term renters used to prepare meals and where breakfast was served. Breakfast was pretty basic. Fruit, cake and a couple boxes of cereal, coffee , milk and juice. There were a few green and herbal tea options, but like most places we've stayed, if you want to start your day with black tea, make sure to bring your own. Our room was very basic but clean with a comfortable bed.

It’s a bit out of the way and you need to drive or Uber to any shops or restaurants.

Gorgeous views. Clean rooms. King bed. Easy check in. Shared kitchen. Pool.

Bed wasn’t bad but could be better … was a bit firm . Didn’t dig the stairs with my luggage .

View was great! Luis at breakfast was wonderful. Mango smoothie was yummy. Staff very helpful and nice. I loved laying in the hammock :)
